I have 3000k HID fogs installed and I bought them from DDM tuning.

These pictures are from a year ago but I haven't changed anything to the fog lights since then.

This and that.
Are there any DIY instructions on changing the bulb for your DRL fog lights?

I would like to buy a LED bulb or something for it, if anyone can provide me with a link for that too.

Thanks guys!

Thanks guys. I am running 5000k headlights as well as the eye lids. I plan on changing the fogs and headlights however to 6000k once I do a HID projector retrofit. Maybe...

Thanks for the pics. Looks really good. Right now I have a yellow film on my fogs to protect the fog lights from road debris. But it looks like the 3000k looks a lot brighter.

I had that before. Yellow lamin-x with regular halogen bulbs. Burned the film so I went ahead and got HID which actually run cooler than the halogens. Just get clear lamin-x to protect it from debris, that is what I have. I actually have the glass painted yellow as well. Maybe I went overboard but I wanted the yellow fog look when its off during the daytime.

No I don't have HIDs for my fogs. Just my regular headlights.

I got the H7 since I have the sports bumper with the round fog lights. If you have a luxury bumper with the oval looking fog lights you need to get the H11 kit.

If so, very simple.
There are 3 screws that holds that piece that surrounds the light. Torx screws. Undo those and the mesh piece will come off. Stick your hand in behind the light and turn either clockwise or counter-clockwise (forgot) and the bulb will come right off with it being attached to the wiring.

Well, we're both running the exact same kit so I'm guessing its because his pics are in night time and mine are during the day
